It’s easy to assume that if you don’t want or can’t afford a TV, you can just ignore any letters coming from the TV licencing people.

However, even if you don’t have a TV, you still need to tell the TV licence people you don’t have one. It’s no good telling them that in court; it’s better to not let it get to that point.

A lot of people, especially those who are less familiar with the UK system (e.g. economic migrants and international students) don’t know that they still have to contact the TV licensing people, even if they don’t have a TV.

Also, there are some quite complex rules on what ‘not having a TV means.’ It’s more complicated than it sounds.
